It sounds like you're writing your emails in plain text mode.  Switch to
HTML mode to activate the formatting options (Format -> HTML).

There's an option in Composer Preferences named "Format messages in
HTML" which will switch you to HTML mode automatically when composing
emails, but please refrain from sending HTML mail to any mailing lists.
Including this one.

Change the format to 'HTML' and they will become active.

One of the abominations of email on Windows is the ability to use word
to create emails - it produces non-standard text that is difficult to
read on non-MS clients.  Don't do it!
